LOVE and LIFE

   Amazing Love is the award-winning action of our God. He showed mankind Love and never expected anything in return. When we believe His love, He then add another advantage to it by giving us eternal life in return.
   We live in a world where love has been defined to be so many things like romance, crush, admire, sex, and so on has been painted to people as real love. But the truth is that all those definitions (no matter good they sound) isn't LOVE'S definition.
   The question of Love isn't of "what" alone, but " WHO" is also involved. The reason has been that it's not just an act, but there is a personality behind the act. Our God is Love Himself. And He also showed us the act by first expressing Himself.
   He expressed Himself by sacrificing His son for the sake of mankind. So that those who believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ will be rewarded the more by giving again a way patterned after His, which is eternal life (John 3:16).
   The eternal life received is an inbuilt way of always longing to please and be like Christ. The way Love has been defined to us by the world has blocked our inner eyes from knowing the real meaning. The act of love is nothing else than the pictures of a man hanged on a cross with bloodstains all carrying the world's sins. Even though blameless.
   Love is sacrificial, not for selfish reasons but that others might be of benefits. Only those who believe in Christ Jesus can understand the relationship between Love and the life that accompanies it. If you aren't for Him genuinely, I urge you to please surrender yourself to Him, believe His death and resurrection, confess your sins, confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and eternal life will come to you.  

Shalom!!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
